Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

On another Sabbath day, a man with a deformed right hand was in the synagogue while Jesus was teaching. The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely. If he healed the man’s hand, they planned to accuse him of working on the Sabbath.

But Jesus knew their thoughts. He said to the man with the deformed hand, “Come and stand in front of everyone.” So the man came forward. Then Jesus said to his critics, “I have a question for you. Does the law permit good deeds on the Sabbath, or is it a day for doing evil? Is this a day to save life or to destroy it?”

10 He looked around at them one by one and then said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” So the man held out his hand, and it was restored! 11 At this, the enemies of Jesus were wild with rage and began to discuss what to do with him.

Jesus Heals a Man on the Sabbath

(A)Now it happened that on another Sabbath He entered (B)the synagogue and was teaching; and there was a man there [a]whose right hand was withered. And the scribes and the Pharisees (C)were watching Him closely to see if He heals on the Sabbath, so that they might find reason to accuse Him. But He (D)knew [b]what they were thinking, and He said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and [c]come forward!” And he stood up and [d]came forward. And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?” 10 And after (E)looking around at them all, He said to him, “Stretch out your hand!” And he did so, and his hand was restored. 11 But they themselves were filled with [e]rage, and were discussing together what they might do to Jesus.
